Connecting YAAC to a Kenwood D74


 

开云体育

I want to use my Kenwood D74 as the source of APRS and as the transmitter to APRS.

I have the needed cable to connect my D74 to my M2 MacBook Air, but I’m not sure what the settings on th D74 should be.?

Has someone got a nice easy to follow list of what to do, pease send it along.?

Hi Keith,?

You can easily do this by setting the radio’s TNC (KISS12) in the interface menu..?

In YACC, you add the device via SERIAL_TNC, mine shows up as??/dev/cu.usbmodem13401

Then I have 9600, transmit enabled, and use the TNC2 command… ?

Give that a shot!

Hi Mark,
Thanks for this. I can’t find everything however. For example the Interface menu doesn’t have either a TNC or KISS12 so I’m misunderstanding something there. Here is how I set up YAAC, does this look good to you?

Thanks again.

The KISS12 he mentioned is a setting on the radio. Pressing the [F] key followed by 5 on the radio will move it between APRS/KISS/OFF
?
Also, verify the KISS output is set correctly (Menu 983)
